Steel nail bin



rigidity of the front and provides a smooth top suface therefor.

A handle 15 stamped from a single piece of metal is riveted to the frontas clearly shown in Fig. 3. The bottom edge of the handle has anupwardly extending ledge 16 formed integrally with the handle. The edge14 0f the top and the ledge 16 of the handle form a 1ecess 17 into whichsuitable distinguishing means such as a card 18 1nay be inserted. Thiscard may have notations thereon to design'ate the size and kind of nailswhich are stored in each 0f the several bins. The handleis rigidlysecured t0 the front and has side members 19 to for1n a band hold 20.

These boxes are generally stored in racks (not shown) and placed side byside and above each other in tiers. 'The front ends of the b0x 1 nayprotrudc outwardly f101n the racks at a line pelpelidicular t0 theheginning of tl1e downwardly inclined edge of the side. Thus it isreadily seen that the bins require but a mininnnn a1nount cf space, thateuch bin is properly 1narked, and tlflat easy access is provided forobtaining nails froxn thc bins.

From the foregoing description it Will be seen that a b0x is providedthat is light in weight, streng and durable in construction whichoccupies aminimum amount of space and cntains i1nprovements heretoforeunknown.

It is apparent that changes in f011n, c0n- -struction, and arrangementof parts may be 1nade Without departing from the spirit und withoutsacrificingthe advantages cf the invention a'n'd the right is reservedt0 1nake all such changes as may fairly fall within tl1e .scope of thefollowing claim.

I claim:

In combination With a nail bin having a f01 wardly inclined front and aforWardly extending edge integral with said front and substantially atright angles thereto, 0f a handle stamped froin a single piece of metalfixed to said front and comprising a freut,

side 1ne1nbers integral with the front thereof t0 space said front fro1nthe front of the bin and forming a band-hole, and an upwardly turnededge integral with the front 0f said handle and forming a recess betweenthe frwardly extending edge of the bin und the upwardlyturned edge, t0receive a card, 01 the like, to designate the contents 01": the bin.
